Sobrietà contro emotività: le lacrime di Obama viste da GPT
Come l'IA rappresenta in immagini le diverse narrazioni contenute in due titoli di giornale
Due diverse rappresentazioni giornalistiche di uno stesso evento: una sobria e istituzionale, l'altra emotiva e patetica. Ecco come #ChatGPT le trasforma in immagini (ah, la rappresentazione patetica ovviamente è di un giornale italiano)
